Delicate, buttery, rich shortbread cookies made with spelt and hulled hemp seeds and infused with variety of warm spices. They are a great afternoon snack and particularly good when paired with a pot of freshly brewed tea. The cooled shortbread cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or frozen for up to 1 month.

- In a medium bowl, using a handheld electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar at medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Sift the flour with the salt, spices and hulled hemp seeds. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter and beat until blended. Scrape the shortbread dough out onto a large sheet of plastic wrap or parchment paper and pat it into a log, about 1-inch in diameter. Wrap it up and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour or up to 2 days.
- Preheat oven to 180C/350F. Slice the dough 5mm thick and arrange, at least 2cm apart, on two parchment-lined baking sheets.
- Bake in batches on middle rack until set but not brown, about 12 minutes. Slide the parchment onto a wire rack and let the shortbreads cool.

Dear Angie, These sound wonderful and healthy. Have a wonderful day my friend. xo Catherine
jolie couleur très appétissant
bonne soirée
I bet these would be nice with a glass of wine too :)
Angie, I would love to serve this for company...such pretty color from the turmeric, and I love the sweet and spicy combination especially. Another winner recipe!
Interesting recipe, rarely make shortbreads. Dont know why I rarely make cookies now adays. By the way scotch bonnet peppers are the second most hottest chilli next to harbanero. Its a well loved chilli and used very often in savory dishes and curries here in Maldives.
loving the natural and vibrant turmeric yellow in this bake!
looks very yum..that turmeric colour makes it very appealing :)
Tried hemp pasta and love it so this is another creative idea to try ! Thank you !
Angie,
I love how you incorporate such healthy ingredients like turmeric and hemp into your baking. Those buttery cookies look wonderful. Might give these a try!
These look so good! I love that bright, yellow turmeric color :)
They look and sound tasty.
I love anything with tumeric, Angie, and these shortbreads are just so creative!! Not to mention, BEAUTIFUL! That golden yellow color just makes me swoon!!!
These look like they would melt in your mouth. And that they are savoury is a bonus for me. Nicely done.

These look like gold coins.

Oh nice! I use turmeric from time to time but mainly in curries. I love the colour of your cookies. Great recipe Angie!
That color!!! These shortbread cookies sound fantastic!!

Hi Angie - these look so delicious! Love the color and I'm very curious about the addition of turmeric. Have a happy weekend!
The cookies sound and look so amazing. Love the addition of chili flakes!
Look delicious Angi8e !!
Such a beautiful, tasty teatime treat! I love the color---turmeric is such a lovely addition!
These remind me of the spicy ginger cookies we get back at home... such a healthy treat!
Gorgeous golden color.
Mr. L. would LOVE these!! xx
I think these beautiful savory shortbreads would also be delicious with a tray of cheeses and fruit. What a beautiful color!
How interesting! I've never had anything like this.
You had me at turmeric! Genius idea :D
They look so tender, flavor and delicious Angie! Love the idea of a savory shortbread!
What a tasty looking recipe.
We love a little bite with our afternoon tea and these do look perfect for that. Not too sweet, but a little spice to wake up the senses. Great little cookies Angie.
They look so good and delicious. Love anything savory shortbread, so good.
xx
You are the most creative chef I know Angie, these are mind blowing! Love that golden color.
Everything made with turmeric is not only healthy and tasty, but also sooo beautiful!
such a cool idea!! who thought shortbread could ever look so Indian!!
They look absolutely stunning and sound super healthy too. Wonderful recipe!
I love shortbread! This is a much healthier version even if it still uses butter. I can always count on you to come up with healthy recipes for those otherwise not so healthy ones many of us still indulge in.
What a neat idea for a cookie! Love the color, and I'll bet the flavor is outstanding. Really creative -- thanks.
Great idea to add turmeric! Who could resist those healthy delicious shortbreads...
Oh I love these Angie! Turmeric makes everything such a lovely color!
Talk about taking shortbread outside of the box, these look amazing Angie!
turmeric is all the rage right now, isn't it! i have a feeling you've been using it for years. :)
Turmeric into shortbread is such a pleasure for tasting and for admiring. Love how this ingredient has made a difference. Which I usually add into curries and stir fries, and not into shortbread.
These sound so good! And, a cookie I wouldn't have to feel guilty about indulging in.
These look so good Angie! I love the color the turmeric adds - and the health benefits too!
These like shortbreads have everything going for them. Buttery, crispy, pretty little bites of goodness.
What beautiful biscuits and lovely flavours you have here Angie.
Oh my, this is beautiful. I can imagine the aroma and flavour.
These are another very clever idea. My trouble is I'd be too greedy to be able to store them for a whole week. I had a whole heap of turmeric in my smoothie this morning, so at least I'm getting something healthy ;)
